Help shortcuts
Clicking on the ‘Help’ icon opens a shortcut dialog box.
You can access and familiarize yourself with all the essential shortcuts that will help you save time when responding to tickets or composing knowledge base articles.
These are some of the useful features that you can try in the text editor and make the most out of them for your business.
Reply button customization
The ‘Reply button customization’ feature empowers you, the customer support agent, to tailor your helpdesk experience according to your preferences. When replying to tickets, you now have three distinct options to choose from:
Stay in Ticket: The ‘Stay in Ticket’ option lets agents focus on one ticket at a time. After sending a reply, they remain on the same ticket details page, allowing them to review their response, check customer information, or take additional actions within the ticket context.
Go to the Next Ticket in the view: For support agents handling high ticket volumes, time management is crucial. The ‘Go to the Next Ticket in the view’ option enables automatic redirection to the next ticket after sending a reply, eliminating manual clicking through pages and enabling seamless movement between enquiries.
Go to the Ticket List page: This option is ideal for agents who require an overview of all incoming tickets in their helpdesk. After replying to a ticket, they are automatically redirected to the ticket list page, enabling them to get a quick view of all active enquiries for better prioritization and workload management.
By allowing you to customize the behavior of the reply button, we hope to make your job as a helpdesk agent easier and more efficient. You can now choose the option that best suits your workflow and preferences, and save time by reducing the number of clicks required to navigate through different pages.
To use this feature, simply go to the ticket details page in your helpdesk and select the settings option in the ‘Reply Button Customization’ menu.
From there, you can choose the behavior you want for the reply button and start using it immediately.
Update Ticket Properties: When an agent replies, forwards, or adds a note to a ticket, they can now make changes to any fields in the Ticket Properties panel to the right and choose the ‘update ticket properties changes’ option.
This will automatically update the changes made in the fields and save them when the user clicks on the ‘Reply’ button.
This enhancement will save our agents time and effort, as they will no longer have to go through the extra step of updating ticket properties separately. It also ensures that important data changes are saved and not missed, improving the overall ticket management process.
Right-To-Left (RTL) language support in Desk365 helpdesk
Desk365 offers Right-To-Left (RTL) language support, empowering support agents to provide enhanced assistance to end-users who primarily utilize RTL languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, Persian, and more.
When an agent responds to a ticket in languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and others, Desk365’s editor will seamlessly identify the language and adapt the text response accordingly.
In these instances, the editor automatically activates Right-To-Left (RTL) writing support, ensuring effective communication for the agent and simplifying the process of responding to end-users in their native language.
However, if you prefer typing your message from left to right, you can easily do so by clicking on the ‘LTR’ button in the editor. This will move your reply to the left side while keeping the original message intact. This feature lets agents personalize their message formatting according to their preference.
As agents continue to type and respond to a ticket, the text will stay positioned on the left-hand side of the editor, and it won’t shift to the right side unless the ‘RTL’ button in the editor is manually clicked.
This support center article provides a comprehensive explanation of Desk365’s functionality for RTL (Right-to-Left) language support.
